ChoKed to Death by "A Peanut.

FROM the CoufIGnd "a. ~ Standard.
Two weeks ago last Monday, while
Bessie. the twenty ty-two-months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs Eugene Hop
kins, was eating peanuts, one got into her
windpipe and passed down into the right
bronchus. She began choking violently.
Her mother tried to stop the choking and
sent for Dr. White. Soon after he ar
rived the peanut seemed to come up into
the trachea, and she was at once relieved,
although the peanut could not be gotten
out. On the following Sunday she had
another choking spell, caused by the
peanut again passing down into the bron-
chus. Drs. White and Hyde, who were
called, could do little for her, and just as
they thought she would die, the peanut
again came up into the trachea, and she
fixed an incision could have been made
in the trachea and the nut could have
been removed, but it kept moving about,
and was liable at any time to return to
the bronchus There was no further
trouble, however, until last Monday, hen
suddenly, while playing on the floor and
apparently as well as ever, the peanut
again slipped down into the bronchus,
and before she could be relieved she died

1t has been calculated that on the av-
erage each man who attaIns the age of
three score aud ten consumes during the
course of his life twenty wagon loads ot
food, solid and liquid. At four tons to
the wagon, this would correspond to an
average of about hundred ounctS of
food per day, or say one hundred and
twenty ounces per day dining adult life,
and about eighty ounces dul ug infancy
and youth. Most modern doctors agree
in regarding one hundred and twenty

Food beverage is fast taking the place OF
fancy liquors and wines; it has the happy
faculty of being better drink, stopping the
appetite for liquor, leaving no morbid appe-
tite, and is harmless as Cruel. What is
worse, all classes use and endorse It, from
the clergy down. There is good reason TO
believe that it stops the nervous, tired habit
in women, and gives almost double power OF
endurance. as they so state it themselves. 1t

How a Nation Grows Rich.

As people, we get much gratuitous advice
from England concerning our future pros
peritv, our tariff legislation, our system OF
manufactures, and the like. The English
policy of free trade has a limited number OF
disciples in this country, usually am0ngthose
rich young college graduates, whose inherited
wealth was created by their fathers and
grsndfathers under our benefcent protective
tariff With good bank accounts these cal
low youths become philosophers, and essay
to guide the industrious, selt-msde, and intel
ligent American manufacturer in the path of
success Those who have never earned a
dollar themselves fancy they are fitted to
teach the individual or the nation how to
grow rich.
We fail to nd the practical man, who is
himself adding to the wealth of the country,
who favors for a moment the following of
England's advice and throwing open our mar
kets to the manufacturers of the world.
recent address by Prof R. E. Thompson,
editor of The American, contains many per-
tirent suggestions in this connection. We
extract the following: Prof Thompson pre-
sented a contrast TO the case of Ireland,
~hich for lack of varied industries protected
by \ tariff, had grow u poor.
The United Stat had right, the profess
sor declared, to speak on protection, for they
had tested all policies and demonstrated the
utility of protective policy. The American
colonists imported sheep, forbade their ex
portation, and encouraged and even, enforced
the spinning and weaving of wooden cloth to
be worn by the people. William Penn tos
tered and pYote cted varied home industries
and productions, while England, on her part,
did what she could to discourage and sup
press colonial m ,nufacturing; so the colonies
were kept permanently poor. The Revolu
tionary War acted as high tariff In 1887
Congress saw The right to levy duties on in
ports George Washington showed himself
in sympathy with the protection idea by de-
lvering his inaugural address in suit of
woollen clothing manufactured in Philadel
pha 1t was against the natural course OF
things, from England's standpoint, when
America manufactured anything which Eng
land wanted to sell her. In 1928 America
had her frat adequate protective tariff. The
tariff of 1862 the best the country bad ever
known, produced period OF unexampied
prosperity. -ductions of the tariff created
financial crashes. The tariff of 1862 was the
work of statesmen, Under it we have lived
substantially for quarter # century and
enjoyed a season OF unparalleled prosperity.

Jewellers in Persia.
! How THE GEN SELL Frs OF THE ORIENT Con
DUCT Their PECULIAR TRAFFIC.

The goldsmiths' and jewellers shops in
Persia present little attraction to the eye.
Perhaps there is a small glass case contain
ing few of the less costly objects; but the
owners are not wealthy men, and keep little
or no stock, merely working to order. The
artifcer, wi his one or two grimy journey
men, and perhaps couple of apprentices,
may be seen hard at work in the open air from
morning till night. There they sit in the
tile brick arch way. with q tiny furnace of
I've charcoal at which the youngest appren-
tice is seen blowing with primitive bellows
made of goat skin. Their tools are few and
rough, but their work is invariably original.
With the silversmith it 10 another affair. SO
common is the use of silver that it is hardly
looked upon as precious metal Electro
plating is not unknown; but 1t finds no favor
in Persian eyes, coming under the head OF
badel or sham. The silversmith's bazaar in
all the great Persian cities is a sight to see.
In the East every great trade has its own
special quarter. There is the shoemsker's
bazaar the c0ppersmiths' and the silver
smiths There the rival srtizans work side
by side and the result is a sort of perpetual
competitive exhibition. Pipe heads in end
less variety. coffee pots, trays, bowls, basins.
ewers, and bottles here stand IN glittering
array and bewildering variety. There is no
middleman; the maker is the vender, and
stands or falls by his own work. Woe be to
the wretched silversmith who adulterates or
allows. There is no need of Hall marks
when the Daro1ah, or policemaster, is ever
on the alert to apply the bastnado to the
feet Of the swindler.
The Persians are particularly clever in both
incised and chased work, and in repousse
work of the highest class. The incised work
resembles the best of the Scnde work with
which the recent Indian exhibition has made
most of us familiar. As for chased work,
the Persian j, inimitsble. Every artisan is
prepared to produce scroll work and trscery
strikingly original. Many ragged workman
can turn out representations Of men and ami
mails in motion, wonderful little groups, bat.
tie scenes, hunting scenes and representations
of birds fruits foliage and flowers. Engrsv
ing upon metal, in fact is carried 10 Persia to
its highest perfection. Pipe hesds,water bot
ties basins. ewers, and even spittoons, are often
made of silver, and sometimes of gold; horse
furniture and stirrups, trays, dishes, sword
hilt and scabbards, dagger and knife handles,
boxes and mirror frames, drinking cups and
goblets, as we'll as tea urns and services, are
ordinarily made of the precious metals
Every villsger has his silver.mouuted pistol j;
the stock of his gun is often mounted with
silver plates. No lady, however poor, would
think OF wearing aught but ornaments of the
purest gold. Silver ornaments are only
worn by the poor, the women of the wander
ing tribes and by the negresses. Coral, too,
being out of fashion is relegsted to slaves
